[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. 3 DOVER, JULY 30.—We regret to state that an affray took place here this morning about two o ' clock, between the Preventive S erv i ce and some smugglers, in which a Quarter-Master of the name of Morgan was shot; It appears that a smuggling galley attempted to land close to the bathing machines, which being dis covered by Morgan and a seaman who was with hhi, they immediately ran dolt) lo the boat, when they were attacked by some of the smugglers, who threatened to blow out their brains if they Occasioned any alarm, or obstructed their landing the goods. Morg an , not Withstanding this threat, fired'his alarm-pistol, mid immediately received a wound from one of the smug glers, of which he died in about an hour. An inquest will be held on him to-morrow morning.

GLASSINGTON V. TIIWAITES. Mr. ROUPELL replied in this motion which was opened, and the defence heard, on Saturday. 'There were two bills in the cause, am original and an amended bill, filed by the plaintiff as an original part ner in the proprietorship of the Morning Herald newspaper. The bills alleged that some of the proprie tors fraudulently parted with their shares in the paper ; particularly that a Mr. Phillips, contrary to a cove nant in the deed.of partnershi : assigned over his share to young Mr. Thwaites, to t e exclusion of the plain tiff as a partner. The bills stated the covenant to be, that when a partner meant to retire from having an interest in the concern; he should enter that petition in a book, produced at a weekly meeting of the proprietors, for enioiling their weekly pro ceedings, that the rest, or some of the other pro prietors, might have the option, in loreference to strangers, of purchasing such interest. This entry was alleged not to have been made of Mr. Phillips's inte rest, before he assigned it away. It was also alleged that false entries had been made in that book ; that proceedings were entered in it, as proceedings at the weekly meetings, which had never taken place ; that proprietors' names had been put down as being pre sent, who never had attended the - meetings ; that false statements had been made as to the profit and expence of carrying on the paper, with a- view to make the ' plaintiff erro neously think it was a losing concern, so that he might have been induced to part with his share, which he refused, though often urged to have done so by young Mr. Thwaites. That the defendants had mis managed and misconducted the establishment ; that they had misused the type, by having removed part of it from the Morning. Herald establishment to another part, where, and with which, they printed an Evening Newspaper; that theytook away matter from the Morn ing Herald, matter which had been collected at the great expence of the Herald •establishment, and printed it in the evening paper, to the great prejudice of the former, &c. against all of which the plaintiff prayed relief, and that tie might be declared as a continuing partner. The de fendant, Mr. Phillips, had put in what he calledan answer and disclaimer to both bills; but the plaintiff's counsel contended that he could not meet a bill treating him as a trustee for the plaintiff and other partners, by disclaiming all interest in the concern. Mr. Roupell made a great many observations on these proceedings, but to no other effect than we have stated. His Lordship desired him to proceed to inform the Court what had been done upon those things called answers and disclaimers. Mr. Roupell said, the plaintiff, Mr. Glassington, was advised to take exceptions to them; those exceptions were referred to the Master ; the Master thought a dis claimer was no answer, and that therefore the ex ceptions were got rid of . in some way or other; an exception wail taken to the Master's report ; there was a difficulty in getting that exception bp fore the Court on a hearing, and therefore Mr. Glas sington was aditised to move the Court, that that exception might, he struck out upon his peying the costs; that was done; , and the present application was, that the things called disclaimers and answers might be takeii off the file. Mr. AGAR wished t 9 supply what Mr. Roupell had not thought proper to state, because he considered a great deal more had passed than what had been now related. Mr. ROUPELL thought he had answered the Lord Chancellor's question, and as Mr. Agar had been heard on Saturday, he ob jected to ,any statement from him now. • o • His Imensmr would reserve Mr. Agar's observatiLtAntil he had looked into the documents in this most extremsly Curious case, because in the whole course of his life, he had never seen such a case. Mr. Rourzu. added, the Vice Chancellor, on a motion before him, thought the Master mistaken in considering that a disclaimer was no answer. His Loßosinr was also of opinion that the Master wits wrong. Mr. AGAR said that Lord Itedesdale had declared that a dis claimer was no answer. His LORDSHIP said, there was no doubt that, strictly speaking, a disclaimer might happen to be, upon the face of it, nothing but a disclaimer, and yet that in one sense it might be an answer ; be cause, %apposing the bill stated that the defendant claimed an in. terest, if the disclaimer disclaimed interest, then that would be both afi answer and is disclaimer. But the question was, whether if a defendant chose to christen a paper a disclaimer, the Master was not to allow an exception ? • Mr. AGAR thought the Court ought to know that the plaintiff had moved befiwe the Vice-Chancellor for an order to proceed upon the exceptions !I is LORDSHIr wished to know what was done with that motion. _ - Mr, AGAR said, it was dismissed with costs. The answer and disclaimer was put in on the 6th of November, 1824 ; exceptions were taken to the Master's report on the 19th of January, 1825 ; on the 4th of February, in the same year, the motion just alluded to was made, that Mr. Stratford should proceed. Ilia Lounantir desired to have the papers handed up to him, that he might read them, otherwise he was sure be never would get to the end of this ease. Ile had a brief in his possession that was given to him at the bar, a greatmany years ago, by Mr. Dun can, a Solicitor, who had been brought up at the old school of so licitors. In the briefs that he gave there never was an unnecessary word ; his briefs were seldom more than three sheets in length, an the longest cases, and that used to be the length.of briefs. The brief, however, his Lordship alluded to had upon it (which in clined him to think he ought to fold up this case in that brief), these words :—" This is a case so extraordinary, that there. is no one like it —no, mat in " Viner's Abridgment," six and twenty volumes full." Now; the CAmrt thought that this was still a more extraordinary case than that. The single ques tion wa l' when the case. w as compresse d, w h et h er t h e p l a i nt iff h a d aright to take the thin g . called answers and disclaimers off the tile originally, or whether, if there was any other course of pro ceeding, if the plaintiff had adopted that other course, that adop tion had not bee n a pauing by o f th e opportun i ty of moving to take them off the file. There could be no doubt in the world of this principle, that a man could not shelter himself from answer ing ,because he had no interest ; for the case on a bill might be a case i n 4i t i e h. a defendant had no interest in one sense , b u t yet a case in which he might be deeply accountable. • Mr. AoAa desired to read one statement in the Mr. ROUPELI. objected to it. Mr. AGAR (with much warmth)—But, Mr. Itoup e ll, y ou s h a ll not be at liberty to treat this cud as you have done , because we all know very well that sta t e ments made i n the* Court go forth into the public newspapers. His Lo aosu ip--0 Lord, dont let's hear any thing about news-. PaPers.' In order not to throw tout any thing to be put into the newspapers, I have just told you , that I shall read y our p a p ers. Acaa......Yes, but when partial statements are made, your Lordship ought to hear the other:side. His Limtpaute.—You had better let me have the papers, and rts, IsaY unquote about it at present, Nobody like s to read news p a p ers betterten than I do, thou some Couone sees a paragraph in them now and not verl g h y p easant. Undoubtedly it has got into a practice to state things for the purpose of being put into the n ewsPaPers. Here the ease rests at present. VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT—<Tms DAY.)

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Juvr 29. (RECEIVED THIS mai:4nm) William Little was put to the bar, eipitallY indicted for that he, unlawfully, did obtain, seeu4 and siabezzle, and secrete a certain proMissory notei of the value of 37/. 13s. 4d. with intent to cheat and defraud his eredi tors, being at the time a bankrupt, and well knowing the same to be their property.—He pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Archbold opened the case, and • Mr. Scarlett stated the facts to the Jury, and said that the prisoner at the bar had been one of a firm which had carried on the business of drapers in Newcastle and York shire. That firm was under the names of Cato, Little, and Leverne, and had existed in repute until of late, when their establishment became affected, and a decline of their credit led to a bankruptcy. The several partners of that establishment had carried on branch establishments from it, one of which was conducted by the prisoner ; and it would be proved, that after he had committed an act of bankruptcy, he had obtained this promissory note, and applied the proceeds to his own use. (The prisoner at this moment sunk to the ground in a swoon). The Judge 'ordered restoratives, but their application having no effect, he was taken from the Court in the arms of the turnkeys, and being attend e d b y a me dical man, was in a quarter of an hour so sufficiently recovered, as to be ena bled to enter the Court : he was indulged with a chair, but lie seemed very unwell, and much shocked at his si tuation. The Counsel for the prosecuti on then called Mr. Wil son, the attorney for the creditors, and he produced the various notices, records, and proceedings upon the suing out, opening, and the proceedings of the commission of bankruptcy. Upon these tioeumtnts an immensity of legal objections were aken.by Mr. Jones and Mr. Alder son. However, the Learned Judge over-ruled all the ob jections, and directed the production of the copy of the minutes of the Commissioners, upon which this charge was grounded. This document, after half an hour's search, could not be found. Mr. Justice Park, after making some very strong re marks upon the negligence of the attorney, and as the case could not go on without this document, was just directing the jury to acquit the prisoner, when • Mr. Archbold exclaimed—" Here it is, my Lord," Mr. Justice Park—Oh, have you found it ? Mr: Archbold.—Yes, my Lord, in the very last place I should expect to meet it. Mr. Justice Park.—Very likely. Had the finding of it been a minute later, it would have availed you nothing, as the prisoner would have been acquitted and discharged from that bar. The case then went on, until at length it was stopped before the documentary evidence had concluded, by the persevering ability of Mr. Jones, who discovered that an adjourned meeting of the commissioners and assignees was improperly stated in the indictment; the adjournment being described as from one day to another, whereas in point of fact, it was only from one part of the day to the other. Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Archbold, con tended that this objection could not be considered avail able by any means. The Learned Judge, however,' declared his opinion, that this objection was certainly fatal, and directed Mr. Little's acquittal. VOIOZRY. John Bambrough, a respectable master shoemaker, and Anthony Bateson, an attorney at law, were then given in charge upon an indictment for forgery. Both prisoners' were defended by Mr. John Williams and Mr. Alderson. Mr. Archbold stated the case.—The prisoner, Barn brough, had a long intimacy with some persons of the names of Everett, Forsyth, and Faikons, who were stewards or - managers of a Benefit Society, and in the course of intimacy, pressed tlign to.!.advance him 100/, from the funds of the society, kept in what is termed the " boa." They declined, unless upon good security, and upon interest. Bambrough quickly obviated this difficulty, saying he would give the best security. One oetwo sub sequent meetings were held upon the subject, and the stewards agreed to lend Bambrough 1001. upon his bond, Dr: Tulloch of Newcastle, being his security. This was upon the 15th May last, and as it was necessary to have the instrument drawn up by a professiOnal man, some dispute arose as to who should be appointed ; but at length it was settled that Mr. Anthony Bateson should be employed, and that the persons named should go with him and Bambrough to Dr. Tulloch's house, to be pre sent at his signing and attesting the bond, to all this Bam brough agreed, and declared his intention that everything should be fair. Bateson accordingly prepared the bond, and upon the 17th of May, himself, Bambrough, and the others, were preparing to go to Dr. Tulloch's, when Barn brough objected, saying the Doctor would not like so many persons at : his house, and proposed that he himself should get the signature ; they all, however, objected to this, and he was then satisfied that they should accompany him ; but on the way he again hinted that the Doctor would be dis pleased, and prevailed upon the stewards to wait at a public-house, while he and Bateson obtained the Doctor's . signature. , They accordingly did go, and in a short time retarded with the tond signed ; Bateson, in answer to a question, saying it was all - correct ; and in the course of the evening the 1001. was paid out of the Society's box to Bambrough, and the bond placed there instead, and Batt soil received a guinea for drawing up the document. 'ln a day or .two after, an enquiry was made into th e transac tion, and it was discovered that the bond was a forgery. Dr. Tulloch's name being in point of fact wrongly spelled, being Bengani Tullock, mstead of Benjunzin Tulloch.— Further enquiries were instituted, and an apprentice of Dr. Tulloch's, named Brown, proved, that on the 17th Bambrough came into the shop and enquired if the Dr. was at bode ? receiving a negative, he said it was of no consequence, as he merely wanted a pen to sign an inden ture, and producing a document which the witness said was exactly similar to the one produced, wrote upon the counter desk, something (what, he could not say) upon the back of it. Application was t 4 03 made to the Magis trates, and some of the stewards Went to Mr. BatesOn's residence, and asked him if he had seen Dr. Tulloch write his name on the bond. He replied, I saw him sign it. He was then taken into custody, as was also Bambrough. The signature of Dr. Tulloch was proved to he a for gery, but the Doctor - was not called, as by the strange anomaly .of the law, although a man can give evidence, if he be robbed, against the robber, yet he cannotbe admitted as a witness to prove that the signature of his name to a forgery is forged, as lie is a party liable to be proceeded against for the recovery of the. amount. This was the case for the proseeution. Bambrough made no defence, saying he left it entirely to his Counsel. Mr. Bateson, upon being called upon, read a descriptive - narrative of his connection with the business—d ec l are d that he h a d b een mere ly a pplied to as an attorney, to draw up the bond, and had done so, as the witnesses had de applied to hi m , an d cou ld not have had any ,moti ve on Scribed. H e k new not hi ng of the transaction unt il t h ey earth for the commission of a crime which he, as a professional man, must know would prove - so fatal. After he h a d parted from the witnesses on th e b r id ge , h e went to th e h ouse o f D r . Tulloch, and B am b rou gh per suaded - him to give him the bond, and to wait outside till he took it to show Mr.-T.—he did so, in less than a I , minutetand it i ar s nb no ro u u s g e h o re f t y u o rn ur ed go , saying h th in e ), D a o s c h to e r is hassiied perform ing an operation on a patient. Mr. Justice Park summed up, and gave his opiniql that Mr. Bateson had been deceived. _ The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, against tim bre*, and Not Guilty a gainst Bateson.—Some of the Jury burst into tears upon jhe record being Imie against 13ambrough. Mr. Justice park passed the awful sentence of the law, saying there wax tie earthly hope for him. MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. . _ MA NCHESTiIt, SATURDAY, JULY 29.---(From our own Correspondent.)—A decidedly' better feeling has been manifested in our market of to-day. In heavy goods and printing cloths more has been doing. Twist has been in better demand, but at no improve ment in prices. We have had no failures of import ance through the week, and, upon, the whole, we have reason to hope that the violence of the storm, in our trade, is nearly spent, and that a sober sunshine is now beginning to break in upon us. MANCllitntit, SATURDAY, JULY 29. The circulation of local intelligence is extremely vague and perplexing. One hears of meetings and preparations which do not exist, while, on the other hand, one gets no clue to what is at the instant going on. You will perceive, by the Stockport Adver tiser of yesterday, that Whitelegg, an inhabitant of Stockport, and the incendiary orator of the meeting which took place here last week, has been examined, and committed to Chester Castle to take his trial. This is the person for whom Dr. Healey was mistaken. The arrest of Whitelegg will do great good. Blackshear, who had lent him the abominable pamphlet which he quoted, has had his premises searched, and 2f3 copies of the first number of the Rights of Man were taken from them. The Stockport operatives are now generally convinced that no secrecy can veil their proceed ings for any length of time from the knowledge of the magistracy of the neighbourhood. There has been a little more stir of business this week, which is laid hold of by the quiescent politicians, both here and in Lon don, as discovering a tendency to a beneficial change. Any an ticipation of such a nature must be set down as delusion. The [increased demand of this week is very limited. We attended the distribution of food yesterday, by the agents of the subscription. No one receives relief where the earnings of the whole family rise above 2s. per head weekly. Thpusands, it is well known, who are utterly destitute, never applied at all.- Yet were there 9,000 persons who delivered tickets, for which they received either eight pounds of oatmeal, or a pound of good bacon with four pounds of meal, or a pound of bacon with three quarts of peas. One incident in their behaviour will delight you. The tickets were issued some time ago. The managers of the funds put it upon the honour of the parties not to use them when they got into work. More than a thousand surrendered them on these con ditions subsequently. In the course of the same forenoon I con versed with an old proprietor of houses, who has known this neighbourhood for more than 40 years. He complains that the country, and Manchester especially, has been wholly led astray! for many years past by a doctrine broached by Mr. Ricardo, that " what is taken from wages is added to capital." Just the re verse of this he contends to be the truth. The grinding system, — as he terms it, meaning the constant reduction of wages, either to prevent loss, or to create a new profit, or to force a sale,—has been actively at work ever since 1812 ; and the interests of this county have been declining with them ever since. He is full of instances of this practice, some of which, if true, were very scan dalous. As profits declined, the first attempts at reduction were made upon the prices of wages only. A shilling or sixpence per cut was taken off. When this mode of encroaching be came too flagrant for vulgar patience, the length of the cut was imperceptibly extended. Machines were rapidly mul tiplied ; the demand did not increase in the same propor tion. The weavers fell into more and more danger of want ing work, and further impositions were made upon them continually, by lengthening the cut. At last one cunning fellow took out a piece which was said to be 60 yards. He required a ticket from the foreman, certifying the length. He finished the 60 yards, which he cut off, and retained IS which remained. Ile was taken before the magistrates, who of course acquitted him, the fraud being clearly on the side of Ids . accusers. Another quaint subject took in his work, and told the employer that he could not venture on a second piece, bawler: he could not hope to, live to - get to the end of it. By these stratagems, working toge-' they, wages have in some instances been pushed so low, that a , ' weaver has not been able to pay for the assistance which he requires and the candles which he has to burn in long winter evenings. The Manchester Guardian of to-day notices, is the way of admiration, the union of masters at Ilyde, and another place, to prevent the further fall of wages, and their resolution, iu the pro priety of as4iich the labourers are said to concur, rather to - curtail the days of labour than reduce the wages. SOHO FOUNDRY.—On Tuesday evening week, a meeting was culled of all' the workmen (upwards of two' hundred) at ptesent employed in the Soho Foundry, and when they were assembled, Mr. George Peel pointed out to them what their late shop-mates, whom the state of the times had obliged his partners and himself to discharge, and their families Were suffering, and exhorted them' to take their distressing case into consideration. He concluded by proposing that every workman employed at Soho, should sub. scribe weekly the sum of sixpence, to raise a fund for the above charitable purposes. Much to the credit of the men present, every one of them gave his hearty assent, and they desired that Mr. Peel would take the trouble of examining all applicants for the charity, and give to each what he thought necessary. Mr, Peel kindly undertook the office; and the hour appointed for the applicants to attend, was eleven o'clock in the forenoon of Monday last. Mr. Peel called the men one by one into his office, and enquired particularly into the state of their fa.. milks, and their weekly incomes. The men were ordered to at tend again at five o'clock in the evening, when every man was paid in proportion, according to his family, &c. This examination and distribution of money, is to be repeated every Monday, till trade so far revives, that each man can support himself and family. We must not omit to state, that Messrs. Peel ? Williams, and Peel have, unsolicited, agreed to subscribe weekly a very handsome sum in aid of the above charity. The case of one poor man on Monday, was truly affecting ; he had been out of employ four 'months, and has a wife and three children. When he came to receive his propor tion of the subscription (which was ten shillings), his feelings so completely overpowered him, that it was with difficulty that he could support hiroself.—Manchester Guardian. (From the Bolton Express,. July 29.) No improvement is perceptible in the cotton trade since our last publication. Although it is fl doleful task to record the continued and increasing distresses of the working classes, we differ from some of our cotemporaries, who conclude that, as the subject has been so much agitated by the Press, it has become uninteresting to the public. IVe cannot think that the sufferings of a large portion of the inhabitants of Lancashire can le a matter Of indif ference to the rest of the subjects of these realms. The extent of the present distress is yet very inaccurately known, for the pictures which have been drawn of the hardships of people, are tinged by the prejudices of the writers. The current of charity has done much towards mitigating the evils under which the manufacturing population is labouring, and it is with grief that we observe the Buccaneer attempts of some of the Whig-radical Journals, to stop the refreshiog flood, by giving countenance to an unfounded report, that a Parliamentary grant will be made for our relief. Such a report is caleulated at once to put an end to private donations, and that too at a time• when they are more required than ever. We hive heard with pain various reflections which have . been made on the conduct of some of the Committee, appointed in this town, to distribute the subscription for the poor, We take upon ourselves to say, that the Pours' Committee has, since he election, undergone the most arduous exertions to forward the welfare of the labouring classes, without any prospect of reward, except in the reflection of having fulfilled a duty. The complaints which hare been made by some persons, who were employed on the Chorley road, may be regarded as emanating from envy and malice. It was not expected—indeed it would have been unreasonable to expect—that a weaver, who had never been accustomed to severe bodily labour, would be qualified to keep pace with a man inured to outwork all his life. In all cues where a complaint has been made, respecting the work being fatiguing, the answer has been: "We do not with you to overwork yourselk do whit you can, and we will make out the rest." This we know to he a fact, notwithstanding the calumnies which are circulated to the cop ' trary. Convinced of the importance of keeping looms idle until the great stocks in the market are reduced, we should be glad to hear of the Committee undertaking some new work which might furnish e mployment to the weavers. DISTRESS AT PAISLEY-APPLICATION TO GO. VERP3TENT. A mee ting was held in Paisley on Thursday—Mr. Campbell, of Blythswood, M.P. in the chair.
